Personal Narrative On Life Without Parole

There have been rumors spreading around that a man has confessed to conducting this crime that I am still serving. This prison has deprived me not only of my youth, but of my humanity because in order to survive I needed to at least look strong and tough. Prison was very tough because being laughed at by the inmates surrounding me made me realize that no one would believe my story until these rumors had come up.

Life Without Parole, by Victor Hassine, is a novel telling the true story of Hassine’s life behind bars. The daily struggle of trying to maintain your sanity, and avoid being harmed or even killed by inmates that are in the same facility you are in that are murderers. Life in prison has to be not only physically demanding, but also mentally demanding. Especially if you will never see daylight again, just even the thought of being in prison the rest of your life must kill you on the inside. In 2008, Victor Hassine committed suicide while incarcerated. He was handed down a life sentence without the possibility of parole after being convicted of homicide. In my opinion, I believe that prison makes you a way different person than you were on the outside, because it makes you re-adjust to different things around you. You are forced to fight day in and day out for your life with other inmates that may intimidate you. If you fight and prove to them you are tough enough, you will earn their respect, but if you do not fight back, then they will just continue messing with you and may even end up killing you.

Finally the day has come that Jr. and I. get out of jail. We had our good friend T-dawg pick us up. He pulled up in his Chevy impala with his 28 inch spinner rims and competition hydraulic lifts. He pulled up and simply said get yo cracka pasty lookin selves up in my whip before I pop a cap in yo man. Jr. and I simply responded we didn’t know you had a daughter and that we missed him too. T-dawg was always such a nice guy he used to give homemade candy to all the adults and kids on the street in exchange for just a little bit of cash.

Probation and parole are both alternatives to incarceration. People on probation serve their sentence in the community under supervision instead of any incarceration. People put on parole have been incarcerated and is serving their remaining time in the community under supervision of a parole officer. (Michael Carlie) The reason for parole is to transition prisoners back into society. If a person is a threat to the society, then they will keep them incarcerated until their time is over instead of parole.

In the article "Prison Conditions for death row and life without parole imates," it includes different facts about how much money the government is actually spending on inmates in prisons. Article also includes the differences between death row inmates and life without parole inmates. For example, "Death row inmates have to eat meals alone in their cells, while life without parole inmates eat in the chew hall, or in a day room. "The article also hits keen aspects of the different lifestyles of life without parole inmates and death row inmates. Another example of this would be that life without parole inmates have more access to not be isolated and more access to more privileges rather than death row inmates.

This research is based on several journal articles, online databases, and textbooks. The information extracted from these sources of content is used for the analysis of this study. Furthermore, the information gathered from this research is specifically used to focus on the difficulties that juveniles face when sentenced to life without parole. Instead of having the opportunity to serve their sentence through probation or parole, some juveniles are sentenced to face irreversible damages. Thus, it is imperative to understand that there are programs through community corrections that benefit juveniles far more than life without parole. The information gathered provides society with a better understanding of the sanctions in the Juvenile Justice

The rising sun was orient in the blue sky. Dewdrops sparkle in the morning sun. Someone patted me on the back. The man whipped out a knife. He was a fat clumsy and dirty looking man. His hair had been badly cut and the ends were uneven. The sight made me stop dead in my tracks. Fear stole into my heart. He cowed me with his threats. The smell of smoke clung to his clothes.On the one hand, he had pressed and held both my hands. On the other hand, he continually stroked my body. He just bear down on me with all his strength so I was unable to repel and move. The rough cloth pricked my skin.Then I just lost it and started screaming. "Stop it !" I bellowed at him. My word made no impression on him. No one was on the scene at the time. Why he did it? What was his intention in doing that? How could this happen to me? Why should it be me? After that, every step I took sent the pain shooting up my thighs. I could not breathe. As I straightened up, the ache in my back grew worse. I bore the pain without a word of complaint. I thought it would

Parole does not rehabilitate instead it restricts the ability to do criminal activity while on parole. However once off parole due to lack rehabilitations, no guidance, no structure and or an alternate fix of filling whatever avoid the criminal activity gave it’s easy for criminal to do it again. For an example: even if smokers would like to stop smoking, most can’t quit cold turkey, many have to go to a support group. I think there should be a department that continuously follows up with offenders to make sure they’re on the right path but not to make them feel like the criminal system is trying to keep taps on them. Some of the guidelines for being on parole make it a smoother transition; I agree with giving the criminals a crew few, drug

     Capital punishment should be viewed as the stripping away of humanity from a person. The death penalty itself should be "executed" because of racial inequities, the concept of murder, the possibility of error, lack of deterrence, the cost, and an overwhelmed legal system. "The goal of capital punishment is revenge" (Introduction 1). Capital punishment is simply an outlet for the bloodlust of the American people (Introduction 1).

To answer this question I believe that in some states it does and in some states it doesn’t. For example my uncle was sentence to life without parole back in 1993 for Aggravated Robbery. It is now 2016 and he was released back in 2013. So he served 20 years on a life without parole sentence and got paroled. So no in Texas I do not believe that life without parole means life without parole.

In 1985, The Community Corrections Program was created by law. It allowed sentencing of non-violent felony offenders to community-based alternatives to imprisonment in order to reserve confinement for violent offenders in the state of Tennessee. The goal of the program was to reduce the probability of continued criminal behavior while maintaining the safety of the community. The Community Corrections Program allowed taxpayers dollars to be diverted from the high costs of confinement for non-violent offenders. The state contracted with local governments and qualified private agencies to develop a range of front-end community-based supervision and resource services for eligible offenders.

Should a twelve year old child receive a life without parole(LWOP) sentence for committing a crime that he/she did not understand. I do not agree with the Supreme Court i believe they should be more lenient with younger criminals on the life without parole sentence. The 8th Amendment clearly states excessive bail shall not be required, not even excessive fines imposed, not even cruel and unusual punishments inflicted. The amendment is meant to safeguard Americans against excessive punishments. This meaning that there cannot be any cruel punishments just because the judge feels like it. Life without Parole should not be a sentence for juveniles under the age of 18 because they can be rehabilitated and become responsible adults after serving

The morning felt rather slow as if the world had stopped since the clock on the wall had been broken for a while. At this point I wanted to just sleep in. I spent my morning looking up articles on murders and information on the criminal justice system out of habit, after all I always spent my morning watching or the news of some sort. I had been looking up an article on USA today on a video based on the Raiders leaving the Bay area for Las Vegas and how the weather was nice today. Which I don’t figure is a big deal since I didn’t care much for sports. The morning was nothing special until I got a call.

I raped a girl. She was sweet like honey and pure like silver. She had tears dripping down from her face. She was like a leaking facet .It didn’t matter to me. I was comfortable with myself. I felt a warm fuzzy feeling inside. A rush through my own blood stream burned a passion for my own desires. Drugs cannot do this to you. The girl screamed and cried during the sweet moment of molestation. I bashed her head multiple times against the floor while she yelled for help. I can hear her skull cracking as I forced her annoying mouth to hit the concrete. The scene became a bloody mural. I know she loved the feeling of having no control. I believe that it was almost the same experience for her as it was for me. I turned her around during our fuzzy

Opening his eyes, all Jerry sees surrounding him is damp darkness. There are no shadows or people he can see. No windows but an eerie breeze blows past him, sending chills running up his arms. He goes to grab his 3ftX3ft blanket that covers only a portion of his body. The only sense of time he can tell 10am. That is when one of the security guard brings a tray of slop for breakfast. That’s only if you consider oatmeal drowned in 6-month-old gravy food. With only feeling the sun on his skin for two hours every week, his body craves warmth. Jerry has been in this jail cell for seventeen years for murdering sixteen different people. Jerry pleaded guilty and was sentenced to life in prison. While some people side with the opinion of sentencing prisoners to jail for life, others side with the punishment of the death penalty.
